After suffering setbacks from Chelsea and Manchester United, Jim Ratcliffe was rumored to have targeted Liverpool.
The main interested party, already owner of OGC Nice
via
his Ineos group, quickly extinguished the rumor by ensuring that he wanted to invest massively in the Aiglons to compete with PSG.
Jim Ratcliffe bets everything on Nice
Asked by the
Telegraph
, a spokesperson for Ineos admitted that the billionaire never thought of buying Liverpool, historic rival of his heart club, Manchester United.
“
Our position has developed since the summer and we are now concentrating our efforts on Nice.
We have raised our ambitions for the club to become a top team in France to compete with PSG.
(…) It would represent much better value for our investment than buying one of the best clubs in the Premier League
.”
Jim Ratcliffe has owned the French club since the summer of 2019, when Ineos bought OGC Nice.
Since then, the Gym has struggled to really compete with PSG.
This start to the season is proof of this, the Aiglons only occupy ninth place in the Ligue 1 standings.
